A redesigned Camry Hybrid was unveiled in January at the 2017 Detroit Auto Show, as part of a complete overhaul of the Camry lineup.

Toyota claims "best-in-class" fuel economy for this latest version of its hybrid mid-size sedan, meaning it must surpass the Honda Accord Hybrid's 48 mpg.

The hybrid Camry will continue to use a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine, optimized to work with what the company calls its Toyota Hybrid System II, effectively the successor to the current Hybrid Synergy Drive system.

The new Camry also uses elements of the Toyota New Global Architecture component set that underpins the current-generation Prius.

Like the Prius, the Camry Hybrid will also be offered with two battery-pack options.

Base models are expected to get a nickel-metal hydride pack, while higher-level models will use lithium-ion chemistry.
